Nuits-St-Georges “Les Chaliots”, Domaine Michel Gros 2001
Michel Gros wines are made in such a way that they can be enjoyed young but will also age well, showing great purity and intensity of fruit and they seduce rather than assault the senses. The Nuits-St.-Georges is from a very small village parcel and, although full and firm, the flavours are ripe and sensual – a strawberry and cherry-like essence combined with a serious oaky structure leading to a complex finish.

Domaine Michel Gros The Gros family have been vignerons in the village of Vosne-Romanée since 1804. Domaine Michel Gros was created in 1995 when he inherited parcels of vines from his father and only 7 years later was awarded the title of Red Winemaker of the Year at the International Wine Challenge. He won it the following year too! He now has 18 hectares at his disposal as the Ecard family entrusted him to run their 3.5 hectares in Vosne-Romanée and Nuits-Saint-Georges. His wines offer great purity and intensity of flavour, seducing the senses with their ripe flavours and silky texture.
